    BlahCade Podcast #10 - Pinball Galore

    We've hit double digits! How'd that happen? This month we run our mouths off about following Stern and JJP on Twitter, Big Lebowski Pinball, the return of Let's Talk Android, the end of summer movies as well as the long delayed 3D chat, and other random nonsense. Enjoy! You can find the...

    Disappointed in texture quality

    An excellent way of putting it.

    Pt.7 - 35 Movies That Deserve More Praise

    C’MON, REALLY? Of all the movies I’ve talked about, these are the ones I feel I’m going out on a limb with. I’d have to earn the trust of whoever I was recommending stuff to before I pointed them towards these. At the start, I said this was all about movies that get overlooked. Well these get...

    Zaccaria Pinball - new physics engine

    Ahem, moderator here. I'm not going to edit posts. I'll leave that decision to you guys. I will say this...don't respond to name calling with name calling. Keep it up, action will be taken. Regardless of who started what.

    The Random Thought Thread

    Been reading all sorts about Robin Williams, especially now that the discussion has turned to why someone commits suicide. In my gut, there are two types that choose suicide. There are those that have a romantic view of it, the "I'll show them" types. Those are the one's I'd label as being...

    Pinball Arcade Chat Room

    Heretic is the dinner bell to which people come running. It's like announcing, "chat room is open"!

    Thanks for the first 50 tables Farsight

    They did, but I can't remember if it was in a Facebook post or the newsletter.

    Thanks for the first 50 tables Farsight

    50 tables is such an embarrassment of joy, one that scratches the nostalgia button pretty hard. Over 2 years ago, I would have been happy with the ability to play any 4 of these tables on the PS3. Now I've got so many tables, I look at some and just go, "meh, I'll maybe play that one another day...

    food staples of pinball addicts

    Pizza - whether it's a frozen one or something I pick up, when I don't know what to eat, that's the first thing that comes to mind. Tacos - I use ground turkey with McCormack taco seasoning, some mexican rice, cheese, and Salsa Bravo hot sauce. Yummers. Peanut M&M's - I've cut way back on the...

    Pt.6 - 35 Movies That Deserve More Praise

    Thematically it holds up really well. Especially in this day of "how to deal with bullying" being so prevalent. Costumes and music, yeah those date the movie big time. I look at it like I look at Sixteen Candles...the humor is still spot on and the dialogue is fantastic, the actors are engaging...

    Pt.6 - 35 Movies That Deserve More Praise

    These aren't obscure, Hairy. They might be too old for you, but hardly obscure. Heathers was a huge hit after it was on home video, The Abyss is well respected, The Game had a good run in theaters, and The Descent was popular enough to warrant a sequel (stay far far away from it though as it's...

    Pt.6 - 35 Movies That Deserve More Praise

    The FP has a great trailer, but man do I feel they missed the mark in the movie. Could have been way more absurd and needed a lot more polish in the dialogue.

    I got to play The Getaway today! But...

    Sounds to me like a raised insert. You've got a whole circle of them on The Getaway, and a slow ball would totally change direction because of that. Why does everyone always assume magnets?

    Pt.6 - 35 Movies That Deserve More Praise

    THE LESS YOU KNOW, THE BETTER Some movies are all the better if you go into them knowing nothing. I don’t believe I knew anything more than a few details about these next few, and usually it was just enough so that I knew I’d be interested. I have included the trailer links like usual, though I...

    Disappointed in texture quality

    And this is why people say FarSight has too many platforms they are putting the game out on. Obviously there are short cuts being taken. Anyone seeing season 3 on the PC can also notice that tables have vastly improved. The problem is, TPA is a moving train. It left the station house with a 4...

    Orbals OFFICIALLY RELEASED (and retracted) for iOS

    I hear what yer sayin' PinWiz. Orbals is a different community than here. But then FS did advertise Orbals in their newsletters to us. I also believe in squarely squashing badly implemented IAP before it has a chance of being put into TPA somehow and ruining our experience. I'm not against IAP...

    Disappointed in texture quality

    Truth is, we really don't know all the steps FarSight takes in making these tables. There has been much speculation, things we have been told, and things we were told that later turned out to be a distortion of the truth. I have been up to FarSight twice. I have spoken directly to various...

    Banzai Run!!!

    I don't vote for tables unless I've actually played them or seen them in person. For that reason I refrained from voting in the Stern poll for the most part, and same with Gottlieb. I think a lot of voting comes strictly from name recognition, not from actual knowledge. Banzai Run is not a...
